I have read some of the other responses.
To your lilo append you need to add hdd=ide scsi and reboot.
Run harddrake.
You should now have 2 listing for your zip drive /dev/hdd/ and /dev/sda.
If that is now true add the following to /etc/fstab
/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip1 auto
user,iocharset=iso8859-1,rw,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0
In /mnt if none exists create the dir zip1
I prefer to reboot the system at this point but you can achieve the same results by
using the command: mount -a
Whichever you choose, afterwards you should be able to access the drive through
/mnt/zip1
